namsan

top of the namsan

-route to namsan-


there are some routes for namsan tour; from myongdong, from hoehyun, etc...
but my favorite route is from gwanhwhamun.


from gwangwhamun to namsan library: by bus no. 402
from namsan library to the top of the mountain: on foot.
(singing merry songs such as 歩こう、歩こう! 私はゲンキ! 歩くのダイスキ! or
Help, I need somebody Help, not just anybody Help!)
from top of the mountain to the observatory room: by elevator.

oh no

i don't want my birthday's coming.

i'm waiting for neither christmas nor valentine's day nor new year's day.
hate every 'DAY'.

just wanted to do extremely natural things on exceedingly ordinary day.

it's ok, it's ok...

if you have made mistakes, even serious ones, it's ok.
if you have been a bad girl, it's ok.
if you have rioted away your time, it's ok.
if you have had dirty history, it's ok.
it's ok, it's ok, it's ok.
THE MOST TERRIBLE THING IS
doing that again.
since i didn't achieve any success, i'm trying desperately.
yeah, i like foolish myself.

painter's honeymoon

Painter's Honeymoonca. Frederic Leighton,
Oil on Canvas
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston



the sunshine is blessing husband and wife.
thanks to the sunlight, painter's wife looks like wearing a golden silk dress.
maybe, we live our life being dependent on a brilliant moment.
they come to us in a trice and only once a life.




rain, steam and speed

Rain, Steam, and Speed - The Great Western Rail way
Joseph Mallord William Turner 1775-1851
Oil on canveas, 91x121.8cm
National Gallary


What is your secret of success?
:I have no secret of success but hard work.


-Joseph Mallord William Turner

...

for my new book-plan, i'm noticing turner's work.
his painting, looks like a glanced shot, is a result of hard work.
nothing is acquired without hard work.
remember that.
